Inflammation of one or more joints which causes stiffness and pain in the joint. Arthritis will typically worsen throughout the years. Arthritis is very common. Over 3 million people per year are diagnosed with this condition. Arthritis cannot be cured but treatment definitely helps. There are many different types of arthritis: steoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis to name a few.

​

Physical therapy helps with osteoarthritis as people with osteoarthritis often have stiff joints, largely because they avoid movements that tend to worsen the pain.

​

Osteoarthritis can be effectively managed so it doesn’t continue to progressively worsen. Other forms of arthritis such as gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis are better managed by a medical doctor.
